i just got a kessil a360 and looking for ideas on how you mounted your lights on a rimless tank. Please post your ideas. Thx
 
What I did, before I got the mounting arms, was to get a shelf hanger from menards or fleet farm, and hang the light from that. The one you get will depend on how far away from the wall your tank is. And then attach it to either cable or chain using an I bolt through the mounting hole on the arm.

I mounted a shelf behind the tank and made some mounts out of furniture grade PVC. I drilled holes in the shelf to run the wires through the PVC and out to the lights. For that T5 fixture in the middle of the Kessil's I soldered in a quick release socket for the power cord so I can disconnect it at the mount without having to unplug it and snake the wire through the PVC for a bulb change.
